Here for sale we have a Faith Eclipse Series FECV Venus Cutaway Electro-Acoustic Guitar in Black finish. Made in Indonesia in 2014, this guitar features an all-solid construction comprising a Spruce top, Mahogany back and sides, Mahogany neck and 20 fret Macassan Figured Ebony fingerboard with matching bridge.  A Shadow Hex Saddle is fitted, along with a TUSQ nut. Chrome Grover Rotomatic tuners are fitted, with Ebony buttons. A Shadow Hex undersaddle piezo pickup is fitted, and is wired to a Shadow L4020 Hex preamp with controls for master volume, pan, 3-band EQ, phase reverse, independent string trim and an on-board tuner. 

 

The Mahogany neck plays very well. Faith's profile feels rather slim in the hand, and has a carve that could be described as a 'D' shape. This lends itself well to a wide variety of playing styles and techniques. The gloss finish to the rear assists with smooth navigation of the 25.4" scale, whilst the cutaway enhances access to the upper register. The Macassan Figured Ebony fingerboard is pleasant under the fingers and adds a sense of luxury to the playing experience. With its 16" radius, the fingerboard feels nicely flat and consistent right the way up the register.

 

The acoustic voice of the Faith Venus Cutaway Electro is very well balanced. With a body design falling somewhere between OM and Grand Auditorium sizes, there is plenty of volume and dynamic range on offer, whilst retaining some of the intimacy in the tone that we associate with smaller bodies. The Mahogany back and sides provide a warm depth to the sound, with a soft yet accurate bass response along with an open and clear midrange. The top end is nice and bright, adding a sparkle and snappy attack to every note played on the instrument. The on-board pickup and preamp offers an incredible amount of sonic control, enabling you to boost or cut individual strings to help balance your tone or to create a unique sound. 

 

Please be aware that for international buyers import fees are not included in our postage and packaging cost, this only covers the cost of the guitar being sent to you. Import fees will be charged by Customs upon the guitar's arrival in the recipient country. Due to Brexit, this also applies to EU buyers.

    Aesthetic Condition:

    Headstock: Overall very good condition. The bass side front edge shows a light chip which pierces the finish between the 6th E tuner and nut. Light indentation, scuffing and a very light chip is present to the top edge. All aspects of the headstock show very light scratching under direct light, as is common with high gloss finishes. This is most notable to the centre of the front face. 

     

    Neck: Overall very good condition. Light indentation which does not pierce the finish is present to the rear of the neck in the early register. This can be very slightly felt under the thumb in playing position but does not impact the overall playability of the instrument. Any markings to the fingerboard are difficult to discern. 

     

    Body: Overall very good condition. A mild indentation which lightly pierces the finish is present to the centre of the lower bout front face, with mild scratching also present here. All aspects of the body show light to mild scratching, visible under direct light. This is most notable to the treble side waist of the front face and centre of the rear face, consistent with light playwear and buckle rash.

    The frets demonstrate light signs of use, not affecting playability. There is considerable material remaining for any fret work the new owner may wish to perform.
